Differences in Disposition to Hunting Behaviour Between Magyar Vizslas (Hungarian Pointers) and Border Collies, Based on a Questionnaire and Preliminary Behavioural Tests

This study investigated breed-related genetic predisposition on hunting behaviour by comparing Magyar Vizslas (in English known as Hungarian pointers) and Border Collies using behavioural tests and an online questionnaire. Differences in specific sequences of the hunting behaviou...

Self‐Powered, Ultra‐Sensitive InGaAs/ITO Nanowire Radial Junction Infrared Photodiode for Low Flux Imaging at Room Temperature

ABSTRACT Shortwave infrared (SWIR) photodetection and imaging are of increasing importance for many emerging applications, such as optical and quantum communications, night vision, biomedical imaging and sensing. While planar InGaAs and Ge‐based SWIR photodetectors are the curren...

All-Optical Control of Interfacial Polarization in MoS2/WSe2 Heterobilayers

Abstract All-optical tuning of van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures with coherent radiation offers a powerful strategy for manipulating interfacial electronic properties on femtosecond time scales. Using real-time time-dependent density functional theory, we predict a transient o...

Marfan Syndrome versus Loeys–Dietz Syndrome after Aortic Surgery: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Reconstructed Time-to-Event Data

Abstract Marfan syndrome (MFS) and Loeys–Dietz syndrome (LDS) are hereditary connective tissue diseases, both characterized by aortic root and vessel involvement with an increased risk of aneurysms and dissections. Despite advances in surgical techniques and improved postoperativ...

Protic and aprotic bis(oxalato)borate based ionic liquids as electrolytes for electrical double layer capacitors

In this study, we report about the synthesis of two fluorine-free ionic liquids (ILs), the protic 1-methylimidazolium bis(oxalato)borate (1-MimBOB) and the aprotic 1-butyl-2,3-dimethylimidazolium bis(oxalato)borate (BDMimBOB) and about their use as electrolytes for electric doubl...

Targeted fine-tuning of machine-learning interatomic potentials for phonons and phase transitions

Abstract Machine-learning interatomic potentials are widely used as computationally efficient surrogates for density functional theory in atomistic simulations, enabling large-scale and long-time modeling of materials systems. Here, we investigate how different fine-tuning strate...

An overview of international reference values for vitamin E intake – similarities and differences in derivation

Purpose The scientific knowledge for the essential fat-soluble vitamin E (VitE) remains inconclusive. There is still a lack of valid status parameters and deficiency symptoms for insufficient intake. Therefore, the derivation of a dietary reference value (DRV) for VitE is challen...

High diversity but limited expression of biosynthetic gene clusters in a peatland microbial community

Abstract The in situ relevance of biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) remains poorly understood. We apply meta-omics to characterize BGC diversity and activity along a peatland redox gradient. From seven metagenomes, we recover 9,694 BGCs, spanning diverse taxa, most lacking close...

Endogenous Functional Group Engineering Enables High‐Efficiency Hard Carbon Anodes for Sodium‐ion Batteries

ABSTRACT Hard carbon is a leading anode for sodium‐ion batteries, but its widespread use is still prevented from low initial Coulombic efficiency (ICE) and unstable electrode‐electrolyte interfaces. In this work, we show that engineering endogenous functional groups can directly...

It’s Us Against Them Up There: Measuring Populism in Youth as a Multidimensional Concept

Abstract Populism has emerged as a defining challenge for contemporary democracies, yet empirical research has largely overlooked younger populations during their critical phase of political development. This study examines populist attitudes among adolescents and young adults, a...

Development and Nationwide Multicentre Evaluation of Guideline-Grounded Large Language Model Chatbots to Support Patient Self-Management and Education in Rheumatology

Patients with rheumatic diseases have persistent information needs that are not fully addressed in routine care. We developed and evaluated guideline-grounded, large language model (LLM) chatbots to support patient self-management and education in rheumatology.Ten disease-specifi...

The Time-Periodic Cahn–Hilliard–Gurtin System on the Half Space as a Mixed-Order System with General Boundary Conditions

Abstract A well-posedness and maximal regularity result for the time-periodic Cahn–Hilliard–Gurtin system in the half space is proved. For this purpose, we introduce a novel class of complementing boundary conditions, extending the classical Lopatinskiĭ–Shapiro conditions from el...

OsteoCHAT: real-world patient evaluation and benchmarking of a guideline-grounded osteoporosis chatbot

Patients with osteoporosis have information needs that routine care inconsistently addresses. In this multicenter real-world evaluation, the LLM-based, guideline-grounded chatbot OsteoCHAT showed high participant acceptability and achieved expert-rated answer quality comparable t...

Recyclable and Degradable Covalent Adaptable Polymer Networks ( CANs ) Based on Dynamic Thiol–Yne Reactions

ABSTRACT Covalent adaptable networks (CANs) have been introduced as an alternative to classical thermosets. The presence of dynamic covalent bonds can be utilized to enable (re‐)processability and, consequently, the recyclability of these polymer networks. Within this context, we...

Beta diversity of Arctiinae moths (Lepidoptera: Erebidae) along a recovering tropical forest gradient

Amid widespread biodiversity loss and alarming rates of tropical deforestation, the potential of secondary forest succession in restoring β-diversity is still widely unexplored. To investigate β-diversity along naturally recovering forests, we collected the functionally diverse g...

All-optical control of nonlinear emission from resonant metasurfaces

Nonlinear optics underpins a broad range of photonic technologies, from classical and quantum light sources to emerging nonlinear photonic neural networks. Yet, conventional nonlinear-optical devices exhibit static functionality: Their transfer characteristics and emission profil...

Bittersweet dynamics from flowers to fruits: chemometric molecular networking reveals metabolic changes towards reduced toxicity over ontogeny in above-ground Solanum dulcamara chemotypes

Poisonous plants frequently deploy toxic metabolites in an organ- and ontogenetic-specific manner, yet the developmental dynamics of these plant specialised metabolites remain poorly understood. In the Solanaceae, steroidal glycosides (SGs), including steroidal glycoalkaloids (SG...

Highly Efficient Exciton Modulation in MoSe2/PdSe2 Heterostructures

Abstract We report a pronounced ∼6-fold enhancement of room-temperature A-exciton emission in a type-I MoSe2/PdSe2 van der Waals heterostructure, yielding a photoluminescence quantum yield of 6%, as compared to ∼1% for as-exfoliated monolayer MoSe2. This unusual enhancement is ac...

Quantum information scrambling in strongly disordered Rydberg spin systems

Despite the fact that power-law interactions occur in a plethora of physical systems, their many-body dynamics is far less understood than that of nearest-neighbor interacting systems. Here, we study information scrambling in strongly disordered spin systems with power-law intera...
